HYRUM, Utah, June 16 -- Computers are no longer unwieldy boxes shackled to desks -- and with increased mobility of data comes increased risk of damage. But thanks to Pelican(TM) Products, Inc., today's go-anywhere computers can be safeguarded against virtually any calamity.

Pelican™ Products, Inc., the global leader in the manufacture of advanced lighting systems and virtually indestructible protective cases, today launched a new division focused on bringing to market environmentally sustainable, energy-efficient and powerful Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting products. The Advanced Area Lighting Group (AALG), known as Peli AALG, LTD., combines Pelican’s nearly 30 years of advanced lighting technology innovation with the expertise and products of the newly acquired Blue i UK Ltd., a European developer of next-generation remote area lighting technology.

“Nearly three decades ago Pelican pioneered an entirely new industry for protective case design and manufacture and is still recognized today as the global leader,” said Lyndon Faulkner, President and CEO of Pelican Products. “We are taking that same pioneering spirit to become the leader in designing and building the most advanced, environmentally safe and energy-efficient lighting technology on the market. The lighting industry hasn’t even scratched the surface in effectively integrating LED technology into commercial applications for lighting large areas. That is the sole focus of Pelican’s AALG and the major reason we have acquired Blue i.”

The new area lighting systems being designed and built by Pelican are harnessing the power, reliability and energy-efficiency of LED technology. This presents new commercial applications beyond the company’s rugged and powerful handheld flashlights that are used by militaries and first responders as well as industrial and hazardous settings around the world. Pelican, along with the team from Blue i, is already delivering a battery-powered portable area lighting system that provides 15 hours of continuous light and approximately 50,000 hours LED lifespan for such end users as nighttime road construction crews, railway engineers and first responders. The systems offer users the ability to illuminate a large work area without the fuel consumption, noise and air pollution associated with today’s industrial diesel generator-powered lighting towers that use energy-zapping outdated light bulb technology.

While Pelican was in the process of forming its new lighting research and development division, the company became aware of Blue i and its line of rugged and portable area lighting products. They entered into discussions to combine the unconditionally guaranteed durability and effectiveness of Pelican’s cases and lights with Blue i’s environmentally responsible approach to building next-generation area lighting systems. Blue i was started three years ago by two British lighting industry experts with the goal of developing leading-edge lighting systems that use futuristic technology and are safe for the environment. The company’s founders, Neil Walker and Darren Judd, were recognized last year for Blue i’s success as finalists for HSBC’s annual “Start-up Stars” Awards in the U.K. for new and growing businesses. Now the two join Pelican’s lighting group to continue inventing the future of advanced lighting.

From the first time we sat down with Neil and Darren, we were impressed with their collective expertise in lighting innovation and loved the complementary products they were bringing to market,” said Faulkner. “Blue i’s approach to technology innovation and standing behind their products was an ideal fit for Pelican and our long-term lighting strategy. We are extremely excited to bring Blue i’s products into the Pelican family and continue leading the way for what’s next in commercial lighting.”

Thanks to the added expertise of Blue i’s founders, Pelican’s AALG is taking the issue of sustainability head-on as it develops new LED lighting systems and products. Pelican believes the consumer debate raging over incandescent and compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs is just one small part of the lighting efficiency discussion. LED technology is proven to be light years ahead of current bulbs and burns 50 times longer than incandescent bulbs and eight times longer than CFLs, and requires less energy to do so. Additionally, CFLs contain mercury and pose a serious environmental threat; LEDs operate with chips made of nontoxic materials that are completely recyclable.

The newest Pelican shipping case features easy-open double throw latches and a watertight O-ring seal. The case's open-cell core and solid walls make it sturdy yet lightweight. Thanks to an automatic pressure equalization valve and an optional humidity gauge that changes color in humidity greater than 40%, the Pelican 1730 -- with almost 10,000 cubic inches of space inside -- is ideal for shipping such sensitive products as emergency medical supplies, breathing apparatus, HazMat equipment, and even electronic components like flat-panel displays, hard drives and server nodes.

While it stacks perfectly on pallets thanks to its extra deep stackable cleats, the Pelican 1730 is also designed with fold-down handles and polyurethane wheels for easy manual moving. The durability Pelican is known for is evident here: The 1730 Dual Mode Shipping Case includes stainless-steel ball bearings and nylon hubs as well as stainless steel hardware and padlock protectors. The case protects its contents in temperatures from -10 degrees Fahrenheit to 210 degrees Fahrenheit. And as with all Pelican Products available on http://www.pelicanproducts.us/, Rocky Mountain Tool offers an unconditional lifetime guarantee.

"Pelican has unveiled a next-generation transport case that performs equally well on a pallet or during manual transport," stated Ben Miller , general manager of Rocky Mountain Tool. "As the largest online distributor of Pelican products, Rocky Mountain Tool is proud to add the Pelican 1730 to our line-up of industry-defining Pelican lighting systems and cases."

Available immediately in black or with a three-month lead time in OD green or desert tan, the Pelican 1730 Dual Mode Shipping Case can be purchased with or without the five-piece interior foam set. Accessories, including a three-piece replacement foam set, a replacement O-ring, Peli(TM) Desiccant, the Peli(TM) Lock and Peli(TM) Quick Mounts, are also available at http://www.pelicanproducts.us/p.Pelican.Transport.Case.1730.html.

HYRUM, Utah, May 19 -- With the Pelican(TM) 9450 Remote Area Lighting System (RALS, http://pelicanproducts.us/p.Pelican.Remote.Area.Lighting.9450.html), darkness and low-light conditions are no longer stumbling blocks for fire and safety professionals, military personnel, utility service companies and even photographers.

Distributed by Rocky Mountain Tool (http://www.rockymountaintool.com/), RALS is an entirely self-contained, powerful emergency light that throws 1280 lumens of white Luxeon light, thanks to a detachable bank of 16 one-watt LED modules in its head. A sealed lead-acid battery powers 17 hours of light, with 9 hours of peak light. In an emergency situation, the RALS auxiliary socket can power other devices, including cell phones and laptop computers.

"We are extremely pleased to offer our customers the Pelican RALS," stated Ben Miller, general manager of Rocky Mountain Tool. "This is the first emergency area light that can be used anywhere in the world, under any circumstances, and we are making it available for under $1,000."

RALS weighs in at just 54 pounds, making it easy to carry and move with or without a vehicle. The unit's diffuser throws bright light over a wide area; when the diffuser is removed, the RALS becomes a penetrating spotlight that will illuminate the darkness over 100 yards away.

"The Pelican RALS removes a major tactical hindrance for medical, safety and rescue professionals working in out-of-the-way places," said Miller. "It provides a reliable, rechargeable light source independent of stationary power sources. We encourage anyone in need of a brilliant, portable light to visit PelicanProducts.us for the Pelican RALS."

Pelican™ HeadsUp Series powerful hands-free lights. The HeadsUp Series is perfect for miners, firefighters, refinery workers, gasoline storage employees, and adventurers. Get a early start this spring and order your HeadsUp lights today.

The ELS features a versatile clear polycarbonate case that is engineered for easy attachment to various surfaces (mounting screws and two-sided tape are included) and photoluminescent decals.

The MityLite™ 2440 LED Photoluminescent Body flashlight, secured inside the case with a special clip, sports an extremely durable, photoluminescent body that adds another level of instant visibility in a black-out situation. Energizer® e²® Titanium Technology® batteries (which have a seven year shelf life), are included with the light giving it an extremely long storage life. Additional features include a five-LED array that shines 21 lumens of brilliant light for up to 90 hours and a tail switch for easy one-handed operation.

These flashlights have the same features of the same name versions with xenon bulb or LED bulbs but are equipped with a special lens that alters the color spectrum and cut the candlepower to preserve night vision. Choose from 7 sizes including a headlamp to use for night time use.

Pelican™ Products is now shipping product for the general release of its 7060 LED, which made a significant splash in March when it was unveiled as the official new flashlight for nearly 10,000 officers in the Los Angeles Police Department. Over the course of the last three months, a waiting list has developed that includes more than 1,500 police departments from around the country requesting to evaluate the advanced light.

“We knew we developed a superior product that could meet and exceed the needs of officers on the street but the reaction to the 7060 has gone well beyond even our expectations,” said Pelican CEO Lyndon J. Faulkner. “It’s been extremely satisfying to see so many police departments embrace it and we look forward to making it available to more police officers in the months to come.”

In addition to the police department responses, distributors planning to pre-sell the light have ordered more than 6,000 units. They expect that figure to increase dramatically as the flashlight goes into more widespread release this month.

Pelican Products was selected by the LAPD to work with the Department’s senior staff and rank-and-file officers to collaborate on creating the 7060, which was designed, engineered, and produced at the company’s Torrance, California corporate headquarters, (about 15 miles south of the city of Los Angeles).

The 7060 LED is a compact tough-as-nails duty/tactical light that blasts a brilliant white beam of 130 lumens for a full 90 minutes without the loss of intensity. This is due to an extremely efficient, light weight Lithium Ion rechargeable battery and next generation LED lamp technology.

The light also boasts “first-of-its-kind” three-way switch technology (tail cap and side-switches) that allows officers to change from tactical to patrol mode in seconds. Additionally, the light features a low battery warning function which makes the light blink increasingly quicker as the charge subsides.

Weighing in at 10 ounces, the 7060 is less than half the weight of existing standard law enforcement flashlights and its smaller size (8.65 inches) allows more space on an officer’s duty belt for other equipment. Its high-impact, engineering-grade resin construction is virtually indestructible and incorporates Pelican’s distinctive faceted design. Also, the castle-top lens shroud allows the officer to see if the light is on while it stands vertical.

In March, Chief Bratton commended Pelican on the 7060’s development, saying: “...this is the first time we’ve made ‘high-tech’ changes to one of the most vital pieces of equipment an officer carries—their flashlight. Working with Pelican, we were able to develop a flashlight that will give our officers an upper hand in fighting crime.”

13-inch laptop owners can feel a lot more secure while traveling with the Pelican™ Products 1080 HardBack™ Case in their bags.

The HardBack Case is a crush-proof, watertight case designed to fit perfectly in most travel bags and protect 13-inch laptop models from major brands such as Apple®, Dell® and Sony®.With Pelican’s trademarked “Dual Band” design, the HardBack’s solid construction sports a high-impact, heat/chemical-resistant, composite shell that will stand up to some of the harshest conditions known to man. For additional impact protection, it features a shock-absorbing, plush foam-molded liner that won’t scratch the laptop’s finish.

The HardBack’s strong, easy-snap, anodized aluminum latch with stainless steel pins keeps both laptop and case secure when drops and hard knocks happen. The case’s tongue-and-groove lid construction and polymer o-ring creates a watertight seal. A built-in, automatic Gore-TEX® pressure equalization valve keeps moisture out and makes it easier to open the case at any altitude.

The 1780 also sports an integrated automatic pressure equalization valve that keeps moisture out and prevents vacuum lock so the case is easier to open at any altitude.Like all Pelican Protector™ Cases, the 1780’s open cell-core wall, polymer construction protects sensitive equipment from some of the harshest conditions on Earth. Additional standard features include a lid equipped with a polymer o-ring for a dust and waterproof seal and dual action latches that have been tested to withstand nearly 400 pounds (but to open with a light pull). Genuine Pelican Protector Cases are fully stackable for optimal space efficiency and can always be spotted by their distinctive, trademarked “Dual Band” design.

Additional 1780 Weapons Case model include a military 12-gun version with a rotationally molded insert and a 10-gun version with high-grade custom foam. Both cases include a rapid entry, lockable metal cross-bar that is cushioned to protect and secure M4s and M16s. Also, the cases feature manual pressure equalization valves and humidity gauges for moisture protection.

Shining the way for safety lights to come, Pelican™ Products has unveiled glow-in-the-dark versions of their most popular flashlights which will feature photoluminescent lens rings.
